> Microsoft has now confirmed in a statement to The Verge that it has received this negative feedback loud and clear, and is planning to make some important changes in 2026. > “The feedback we’re receiving from our community of passionate customers and Windows Insiders has been clear. We need to improve Windows in ways that are meaningful for people. This year you will see us focus on addressing pain points we hear consistently from customers: improving system performance, reliability, and the overall experience of Windows.” https://archive.is/Ru5Ls https://archive.is/Ru5Ls

I honestly don't think that Microsoft even knows what a good "overall experience of Windows" consists of. That's the charitable take. The uncharitable take is that revenue generation will trump user experience every day of the week.

  > revenue generation will trump user experience every day of the week The iron law of encrapification - I doubt Microsoft (or Apple or Google or any other company) can overcome it, as the business incentives (at least in the short term) are too great.

>The feedback we’re receiving from our community of passionate customers and Windows Insiders has been clear. They misspelled "pissed-off". Or maybe it was a Copilot autocorrect due to the presence of the word piss in there.

  Was thinking the same. Being pissed off is a fairly strong emotion, an LLM with marketingspeak instructions might reword it that way.

    Actually I think it was a speech-recognition error, the author did say pissed-off but the speech recognition engine bowdlerised it to something more printable.
